The residents of Namasia District in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, in order to protect the local ecology and fireflies, refrain from using pesticides during cultivation. This ensures that fireflies can thrive. From March to April each year, the fields and orchards come alive with the arrival of fireflies, their twinkling lights creating a luminous veil.

The photo depicts fireflies illuminating the night in an aiyu orchard, use three photos with different focus points to overlay to create an oil painting look.

Aiyu is a plant species in the fig family, commonly found in Taiwan and Singapore.
